Putin is not in the least bit worried about sanctions. Indeed, he is planning a kind of self-sanction, cutting off the EU's gas in the hope of forcing its leaders to push Ukraine into a dishonourable peace. No, the only thing he fears is military defeat. https://capx.co/lets-not-pretend-sanctions-can-win-this-war-putin-will-only-be-defeated-on-the-battlefield/

Food tariffs during a cost of living crisis are regressive, immoral and self-defeating.

A reminder to ministers. The country doesn't think only in 4- or 5-year election cycles. When you make decisions like this, they are remembered; and they determine how *you* are remembered.
RT @mlanetrain: This is some grim real life dramatic irony: Nick Clegg opposing nuclear power in 2010 because it would only come on-stream by 2021 or 2022.

RT @CapX: What will break Putin's malign grip is not sanctions, but losing on the battlefield.

Record tax levels, rising debt, incontinent money printing, cost of living crisis - these are symptoms. The sickness is excessive government spending.

RT @Sage_Opinion: Some of us were ahead of the curve. I stopped believing Amnesty reports decades ago, based upon the fact that their reports on the security forces in Northern Ireland were works of fiction, inspired by terrorist propaganda. Just a pity it took others so long to realise this....

RT @MDC12345678: The best article by a Conservative politician on energy in a long time. Dan Hannan tells the unfashionable truth about why our bills are shooting upwards. Sadly, it is what many in SW1 have wanted for a long time. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/08/06/miserable-truth-leaders-dont-want-us-have-cheap-energy/

RT @WanjiruNjoya: "The reason we slip so easily into talk of banning and rationing is not just that the lockdown has left us readier to be bossed about. It is that we have come to regard the use of power as a sinful indulgence."

RT @nmrqip: “We have rich pockets of gas trapped in rocks beneath Central Scotland, Yorkshire, Lancashire and Sussex. We have as good a claim as any country to have invented civil nuclear power. Yet, incredibly, we face blackouts and energy rationing.” https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/08/06/miserable-truth-leaders-dont-want-us-have-cheap-energy/

RT @DanielJHannan: When taxes are already at a 70-year high, declining to push them up even further is hardly doctrinaire libertarianism, for God’s sake. I don’t expect some Ayn Rand-style skeletal state. Given where we are, I’d take Gordon Brown’s spending levels as a huge improvement.

Six years after the referendum, the Guardian and Observer continue to see EU/UK relations almost wholly from the perspective of Brussels. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/aug/07/truss-sunak-contest-leaves-brussels-pessimistic-about-relations-with-uk-brexit-eu
